This recipe can be served with butter and cheese as a side dish or with a tomato meat sauce as a main dish. Ingredients:
1 pound potatoes |
salt & pepper |
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg |
1 cup flour |
1 egg |
4 tbsp butter |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes and cut them into 1 pieces. Put in a saucepan, cover with cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender. Drain and return the pan to the heat for a few minutes to dry the potatoes. Rub potatoes through a course sieve into a large bowl. Season with salt & pepper before mixing in the nutmeg and the flour. Beat the egg and stir it into the potatoes, usaing a wooden spoon; blend until smooth.
2. Turn the mixture onto a floured working surface and knead lightly. With lightly floured hands, shape the mixture into a roll about 1 thick. Cut into 24 even pieces and shape them into balls.
3. Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Drop in the gnocchi, a few at a time, and simmer for 5 minutes. When cooked, the gnocchi will rise to the surface. Lift them out carefully with a slotted spoon and put in a warm buttered serving dish.
4. While the last of the gnocchi are cooking, melt the 4 tbsp of butter and pour over gnocchi. Sprinkle with the grated cheese before serving.
5. Or: Can also be served with tomato sauce instead of butter.
